Hellyboo

vanilla - hope your LO is ok
Pigpen - Jake is being a monster tonight too - it's not his fault he seems to be really suffering with the colic, he is currently draped over my shoulder sucking my earlobe... hope Freja settled
Valli - love the well and wallpaper I wish I was half as crafty, in a glue gun and glitter sense
Hope everyone got the A-Level results they wanted.

Sorry to who I missed, I'm feeling slightly frazzled. OH got asked to work late at the last minute so he's staying in London overnight. I swear I may as well be a single Mum sometimes, he goes out early, is back late and on the rare occasion he is here for bedtime for the boys he doesn't help with anything. I appreciate everything he does for us, I haven't worked for 3 years and he's kept us afloat, but sometimes I just wish I had some help

Feeling a bit miserable, even though I've managed everything I wanted to flying-wise. Now bub has started screaming again so I better go and deal with him...

(hugs) hellyboo...

pigpen

She eventually fell asleep being fed laid in my bed.. at 6pm... and she is still asleep now...

I have managed to get 3 loads of washing in and one load in the TD and 2 loads folded and the DW has been loaded. All the recycling has been put out and the cereal boxes condensed.. and the luck bunnies got some box dregs which they LOVE!.. so I do get something done once she goes to sleep!

pigpen

another load in the TD.. and another load in the WM.. and now Missy moo is after more food!!

Shortbird's believe it or not fact of the day: human wee and poo was used on compost heaps for some time... anything germy in the poo should die when the compost gets good and hot.

Nope, didn't think you'd believe me. The Centre for Alternative Technology has a lot of information on the subject. Enjoy your tea:D

Plenty of sewage sludge still gets dumped on the fields. In fact, if Kazm was at work a couple of weeks ago, she'll have smelt it as it covered most of that area when I was visiting my parents.

No flying done since I got back. I'm totally shattered and should probably go to bed. But CBA...

Valli

you must be in on your own then GB;)

hope it's going well with OH

I can't believe how much of this list I have completed and still managed to fit in a baking session this afternoon, and a 'big shop' this evening.
Need to sort pantry tomorrow now though so i can fit it all in.Have done the fridge and freezer stuff ,but just left pantry stuff in the box until tomorrow . Hopefully in a few weeks I'll be flying so well I will have actually sorted the pantry BEFORE i go shopping so I can just put it all away- but then I'll still have to rotate it- oh well.

Congratualtions to all who got their A level results and achieved what they wanted/ needed and a big huggle to anyone who didn't.

Happy flying to everyone- i'm just about hovering , yes hovering not hoovering lol!
Does anyone know how to get rust off an enamel bath please? I've tried the usual suspects bleach, lemon juice,bicarb, white vinegar..and it still wont shift :mad:..

Luv 'n' Rainbows

vanilla

I'm not long back. The doctor checked his leg and poked it, Rhys was not happy but the doctor thinks it will be ok. I just need to put a cold face cloth to it and it should be gone in 2-3 days.

He also checked his ears and throat and said he had tonsillitis but then when i asked abit more about it he changed his mind and said throat infection. He's gave me penicillin and nurofen. I'm not gonna give him any penicillin tonight just incase as he's had ibuprofen and paracetamol already. Poor wee pet is out for the count. I'm thinking i might just take him into our own doctor? Not sure what is best.

Emmala

Glad he's OK, I would sleep on it and see how things are in the morning. If you're not sure, take him to your own doctor. Trust your gut. Hopefully, all those drugs mean he'll sleep well tonight and it's amazing what a good night's sleep can do xxxxxxxxxx

vanilla

His temp is down now so i think he'll be fine. I'm a worrier.

TD has just finished, need to get the DW on and then i'm off to bed.
